In the last year, Rhema has traveled around the country singing at concerts, churches, and nursing homes. She's even taken her show overseas, singing in front of a live studio audience in South Korea.

This fall, Rhema released her second album, and her YouTube channel has more than 15 million page views.
     
But Rhema's success was born in tragedy. She was only three years old when her mother, Wendi, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Rhema had just turned six when Wendi died. Rhema was at her side to the very end.

"I love her," she said. "Whenever I think about her, I feel like she's right beside me. Sometimes when I sing, I can hear her voice."

   
Rhema's father Teton Marvanne said his daughter's gift had to be uncovered.

"I used to tell people that Rhema was tone death because she could not hold a tune," he recalled.

Marvanne splits his time between being a full-time dad, running his own personal business, and managing Rhema's increasingly demanding itinerary.
